The women's edition of the E3 Saxo Classic only actually lasted for two races.
Femke Markus took victory back in 2022 and Julia Kopecky was the winner in 2023. "The economic model for women's competitions is losing steam as organizational costs continue to increase, while the attractiveness for sponsors remains below growth expectations," continues the statement. "For this reason the Governing Council has decided, due to the lack of a long-term perspective on the calendar and the lack of sound financial prospects, to pull the plug."
The E3 Saxo Classic hasn't been the only women's race effected recently either as the UK-based Women's Tour seemingly has no future either, due to similar financial issues.
